One year ago today, we learned of the leaked decision suggesting that the Supreme Court was poised to strip away the constitutional right to an abortion.

I can remember everything about the moment I found out. I’m sure you can clearly remember, too.

I was in my kitchen on the phone with my daughter. We were in the middle of talking about something and she said, “Oh, my God — oh, no, no, no.”

I thought, “Oh, dear, one of the grandchildren has been hurt, something’s happened right in front of her.” I kept saying, “What?” And finally she said, “I don’t understand the Supreme Court, they put up an opinion, they’re gonna take back Roe v. Wade.” She obviously was reading her phone while she was talking to me.

I started punching on my own phone at the same time.

It felt like a full-body smack from the top of your head all the way down to your toes.

My mind went back to when I was a girl. I grew up in Oklahoma when abortion was illegal. I saw the harm that was caused. All of that came flooding back. I had thought my daughter and my granddaughters would be protected and have more rights than we did. But the Supreme Court decided they will not.

I was so angry then — and I still am.

But this extremist court will not get the final word. That was my commitment a year ago when we protested on the steps of the Court — and it still remains my commitment today.

I’m continuing the fight for the big, structural changes that will reverse this injustice and prevent it from happening again — like expanding the Supreme Court to rebalance it, electing more anti-filibuster Senators to end this archaic rule and pass national abortion protections, and fixing the Electoral College so popular-vote losers like Donald Trump can’t stack the courts again.

And I’m going to continue to support pro-abortion candidates and ballot measures at the state level. It’s clear that when we run on abortion rights, we win on abortion rights — and we must do everything we can to expand abortion protections or defeat attempts to restrict access.

But until we get this done, we must continue to look after each other, and help ensure safe, accessible abortions to everyone who needs or wants one.

So if you can, please make a donation to the National Network of Abortion Funds, who will help patients across the country still access the abortion care that they need. 100% of your contribution will support this vital organization. [[link removed]]

We are not powerless. We can still fight back. And we must.

Thanks for being a part of this,
